Try one of those pirate crow's nest, with a 2x2 plate stuck in it. Impossible to remove, mine's still there. ~K@rl (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I dunno... :) I'd have to say, separating a 6x8 plate from a stack of 10 tightly squeezed 6x8 plates is harder than that. You can always bend the 4x4 plate slightly to get the 1x2 grille tile started. --Todd [followups to lugnet.general] (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.general)

(...) I would have to disagree. I can almost always get those off with my fingernail.

A relo by a new employer and by an existing one are two different things. New employers will only rarely help with selling your current house. But this is the late 90s, anything is negotiable if your skills are hot enough. I personally would hold (...) (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
